We’re putting learners in control of their car driving test bookings 🚘

If you’ve got a booking or you’ll be looking for a test soon, make a note of these dates 📅

31 March 2026 – only 2 changes can be made to a booking

12 May 2026 – only learners are allowed to book a test and make changes

9 June 2026 – learners can move their booked test only to nearby centres

By changing who can book car and change driving tests, we’re aiming to reduce the re-selling of driving tests, giving the power back to learners 💪

📢 The rules for booking a practical car driving test are changing.

From 31 March 2026, learner drivers and approved driving instructors (ADIs) will only be able to change a driving test booking up to 2 times.

A change includes:
- changing the date or time
- changing the test centre
- swapping an appointment with another learner

If you’re an ADI, please make sure your pupils only book their test when they’re ready as swapping between pupils will count towards this limit. You can set times when you're available to take your pupils to their driving tests. This stops your pupils from booking tests at times that do not work for you.

👉 When this comes into force, everyone with a driving test booked will have 2 changes available, regardless of how many changes they may have already made.

This change is part of the outcome of our consultation to improve the way driving tests are booked.

We’re advising drivers to take extra care on Nottinghamshire’s roads today due to the icy conditions.

There have been five separate crashes on A610 near Giltbrook earlier this morning, including one car which rolled onto its roof.

One man was taken to hospital. His injuries are not currently believed to be life-threatening.

The road was closed while the incidents were dealt with.

We've also received reports of multiple crashes on the A38 near Mansfield due to the icy conditions.

Temporary Chief Inspector Jon Scurr, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We’re urging drivers to please take extra care on the roads today as there are still significant stretches of ice present.

“We would also advise motorists to keep a good distance from other vehicles, reduce their speed, and set off on their journeys with plenty of time.”
